Input:

2024-12-25
2000-01-01

2025-05-18

Common Use Cases:

This is handy when you need friendly, readable dates for documents, printed materials, form letters, speech tools, screen readers, or user-facing content that should avoid numeric-only formats. It’s simple, fast, and produces clean natural-language output.
